On December 4th, 2001, Professor Mari Pietroglovanna of the University of Padua gave a lecture entitled "An Italian Journey: Northern Painters traveling in Rome and Venice in the second half of the XVI Century" as a part of our research project at the University of Tokyo. On that occasion a meeting was held to discuss the results of the research each participant had undertaken for the past three years. At the same time an outline for the finale research report was drawn up and its contents determined.Accordingly, in the research report Professor Yamashita writes about Hasegawa Tohaku with particular reference to his vagabond life in the Noto region, while Professor Sato examines several works of art by Ito Jakuchu, on the basis of fieldwork undertaken by the two in the Noto region in 2000.On the other hand, the head investigator provides an overview of the significance of artists travels from ancient Greek and Roman times through the first half of the XVI century ; in the process, he sheds light upon certain aspects of artistic travel, including its motives and goals and the differing modes of transportation and lifestyles while on the road, in order to provide a tentative typology of artistic travel. Professor Akiyama writes about the mobility of artists between Italy and German countries around 1500 with a particular contribution concerning the Venetian painter Jacopo de Barbari. Professor Nakamura addresses a trip to Spain undertaken by Rubens, entrusted with a diplomatic mission, in 1603. Finally, Professor Miura describes the stay at the Villa Medici in Rome of young French artists who were winners of the Roman Prize in the XIX century. To the report will also be appended relevant materials concerning Velazques two trips to Rome, and the El cuaderno italiano (1770-1786) held and drawn by Goya.
